Issue Description

We got the following false positive report from an auditor customer today:

Expectation

This input field is not relevant to SC 1.3.5 ("pet type" is not one of the enumerated types of input purposes), so it shouldn't result in an autocomplete-valid violation. The developer used an autocomplete attribute value of "xoff" as a state-like value:

<input autocomplete="xoff" name="PetType" type="text">

Actual

autocomplete-valid violation.

How to Reproduce

See above
